Micronucleus Test (MNU)

The Micronucleus Assay is used for the automated detection of micronuclei in cell lines, smears or primary cell cultures. The algorithm is extremely fast (ca. 1 image/second) and extremely accurate; not only the ‘easily’ separated micronuclei are detected but also the more difficult and biologically important micronuclei that are partly attached to the parent nucleus.

The standard feature set includes micronuclei features (number, size, etc.) and features relating to the parent nuclei (size, cell cycle information).

Results may be easily verified in the viewer module and the algorithm parameters can be easily adapted to assure correct analysis for a wide range of samples.

The image importer tool allows using images from various scanning stations. You can also upload your samples to our service lab for analysis.

• Very robust analysis
• Tunable algorithm parameters for correct analysis of a wide variety of samples
• Includes a powerful visualisation module for quick reviewing of analysed data
